While mining {{ItemIcon|Pure Essence}}, there is a chance that a {{ItemIcon|Runestone}} will be dropped instead of a normal gem. The chance of [[Runestone]] drops is not subject to the usual normal gem drop chance bonuses, and so the base chance of 1% may only be increased to 1.1% while wearing the {{ItemIcon|Clue Chasers Insignia}}.

Any gems dropped (including {{ItemIcon|Runestone|Runestones}}) may be doubled if any global or Mining specific item doubling bonuses apply. The {{ItemIcon|Mole}} and {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} [[Summoning#Synergies|synergy]] may also be used for a 15% chance to receive an additional normal gem of any type whenever a normal gem is dropped while Mining - this additional gem also has a chance to be doubled. If the synergy is active while mining {{ItemIcon|Pure Essence}}, then a {{ItemIcon|Runestone}} will be obtained in place of a random gem.

===Superior Gems===
===Superior Gems===
Superior gems can drop from any gem vein (in addition to the gem provided by mining the vein) with a chance of 10% per action. This chance can be increased by any things providing a bonus to the chance to receive a quality superior gem. Superior gems may also drop while mining {{Icon|Meteorite Ore|Meteorite|type=rock|img=Meteorite}}, but only when a bonus to the chance to receive a superior gem is active, as the base chance is 0%.
